It absorbs well and is gentle on sensitive skin, without causing any blemishes. There's an adjustment period when you first start using it. You might experience some redness and skin peeling for about two days.

Plus, it's incredibly hydrating, which is fantastic. Well, I'll need to use it a bit longer to be sure, but so far I haven't noticed any downsides. When I apply it at night, I use a slightly thicker layer. There's no need to add an extra moisturizer on top of this. - dn*********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedMay 2, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

There was no irritation, and after sleeping with it on, my skin felt plump upon waking. After a week of use, I noticed my complexion seemed slightly improved. While there weren't any real downsides, I do wish the product came in a larger size. - js*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsRecommendedMay 1, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

At first, I was on the fence, but after consistently using it for about a week, I felt like my pores had visibly shrunk and my complexion looked more refined and improved overall. I think continued use could yield even better results. The serum has a thin consistency, and I applied it by pumping onto both cheeks. It absorbs well and has a nice texture. I'm not sure if it was due to this product, but for the first day or two, my chin and cheeks felt slightly red and dry. However, this subsided over time. It's important to carefully read and follow the usage instructions. - to********Combination SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedApr 30, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

There's a slight stickiness right after application, but it disappears quickly. While it's not intensely hydrating, it doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and provides a subtle richness. Effects: I requested this product for its pore-improving benefits. Though it's hard to judge the effectiveness after just a week, the ingredients look promising, so I plan to continue using it consistently. I didn't find any significant drawbacks. If I had to mention something, it would be that the opaque container makes it difficult to see how much product is left. - th********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedApr 30, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

He even mentioned wanting to repurchase it later Considering he's the type to use just about anything, the fact that he said this makes me want to buy it for myself too. Highly recommended for those with large pores As someone who's tried every pore product under the sun and is obsessed with skincare, I've used everything from Derm*, Well**, Green Toma*, Medi*, and all sorts of retinol and retinal products. Seeing the improvement in someone else's pores makes me strongly consider settling on this product It doesn't cause blemishes, but the texture doesn't absorb instantly into the skin, so it feels a bit richer than Derm*. Not a reason to not recommend it though Highly recommended method: Before applying makeup, soak a cotton pad (like Silcot) with the pore serum and place it on the nose and butterfly zone as a skin pack for a few minutes, or at least 1 minute if you're short on time. Then, gently pat it in before applying makeup to help minimize the appearance of pores - nu****Dry SkinRecommendedApr 30, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, which I absolutely loved. Even after absorption, it leaves my skin feeling moisturized, making it perfect for my extremely dry skin. Lately, my skin has been rejecting most products, but this one absorbs much better compared to others. I've heard that retinol isn't effective against UV rays and should be applied before bed, so I've incorporated it into my nighttime routine. It absorbs so quickly that it would be ideal for busy mornings, but apparently, it's most effective when used at night. After using it for a while, I feel like my pores might have tightened a bit. However, I'll need to use it a bit longer to see more noticeable results! The only downside was the small size of the product! The current price seems reasonable for a night care product, but at just 30ml, it'll run out quickly. Of course, a larger size would probably mean a higher price... Other than that, I didn't find any major drawbacks. If it really proves effective for pore reduction with continued use, this could become my holy grail product! As I mentioned above, and as you might already know, it's said to be most effective when used at night. Oh, and since it's important to focus on hydration when using retinol, I make sure to apply plenty of hydrating essence, like Wellage, alongside it.

Once it dries, it leaves the skin feeling soft and non-sticky. Scent: It has a medicinal, ethanol-like smell. For those with sensitive skin, it's crucial to patch test and start with a small amount. As someone with atopic dermatitis, I layered a small amount with a light essence, but still experienced a burning sensation. - ca*******Dehydrated SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedApr 30, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

While the texture isn't runny, it applies smoothly on the skin and absorbs well. This was my first time using a retinol product, and I found it to be gentle and comfortable. After application, my skin felt like it had a smooth, protective layer. While I didn't find any particular downsides for my skin, I felt that for those with dry skin, finishing with just a toner-serum-cream routine might not provide enough hydration. - 19******Dry SkinSebum/BlackheadsRednessRecommendedApr 30, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Fits perfectly in one hand. Size is similar to typical serums. Texture & Application: The formula has a yellow hue with a moderate flow. Not too watery, yet not overly thick, allowing for smooth application. Absorption: Glides on smoothly, instantly softening the skin. While it doesn't provide a dramatic whitening effect, it does brighten the complexion and adds a subtle glow. However, it leaves a slightly rich feeling that lingers for a while. Not recommended if you prefer a fresh finish, but great for those seeking hydration. Overall impression: I was surprised by how moisturizing this serum is. As someone with very dry skin who usually layers moisturizer over serum, I found this product provided ample hydration on its own. While it doesn't dramatically whiten the skin, it does clarify and brighten the complexion. If you're looking for a natural brightening effect, I recommend consistent use. The scent is a bit heavy, reminiscent of oils, which made application slightly uncomfortable. As someone sensitive to fragrances, this is a matter of personal preference. After use, there's a rich feeling that leaves the skin feeling slightly heavy with some stickiness. Highly recommended for use during dry weather, especially before bedtime!
